Sample RBSE SS Geography Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the RBSE SS Geography exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Human geography mainly studies the relationship between:
A.Humans and their environment
B.Only climate and vegetation
C.Only rocks and minerals
D.Only planetary motions
Explanation: Human geography examines how people, societies, and economic systems interact with the physical environment and how they organise space.
2Who is widely credited with coining the term 'human geography' in the late nineteenth century?
A.Friedrich Ratzel
B.Carl Ritter
C.Alexander von Humboldt
D.Eratosthenes
Explanation: Friedrich Ratzel is often associated with early systematic use of 'anthropogeography'/human geography in the late 1800s, focusing on people–environment relations.
3The concept of 'possibilism' in human geography emphasises that:
A.Humans can choose among environmental possibilities
B.Environment completely determines human culture
C.Culture has no link to environment
D.Only climate decides economic activity
Explanation: Possibilism holds that the environment offers a set of possibilities and constraints, but human culture, technology, and choice shape how those options are used.
4Neo-determinism (stop-and-go determinism) is closely associated with:
A.Griffith Taylor
B.Vidal de la Blache
C.Ellen Churchill Semple
D.Immanuel Kant
Explanation: Griffith Taylor proposed neo-determinism: humans can accelerate, slow, or stop development, but natural limits eventually constrain choices—like traffic lights guiding movement.
5World population is most unevenly distributed mainly because of differences in:
A.Physical environment, resources, and historical settlement
B.Only longitude of places
C.Only political party systems
D.Only ocean currents
Explanation: Population clusters where climate, relief, soil, water, resources, and long settlement histories support dense habitation; harsh deserts, ice caps, and high mountains remain sparse.
6Arithmetic density of population is calculated as:
A.Total population ÷ total land area
B.Total population ÷ arable land area
C.Total population ÷ urban area
D.Rural population ÷ total land area
Explanation: Arithmetic (crude) density is total population divided by total land area of a region, giving average persons per unit area.
7Physiological density is a better indicator of population pressure on agricultural land than arithmetic density because it uses:
A.Arable (cultivable) land area in the denominator
B.Only forest area in the denominator
C.Only water area in the denominator
D.Total land including oceans
Explanation: Physiological density = total population ÷ arable land. It shows how many people the cultivated land must support, revealing agricultural pressure better than crude density.
8The demographic transition model links population change mainly to changes in:
A.Birth rates and death rates over stages of development
B.Only migration every year
C.Only latitude of a country
D.Only mineral exports
Explanation: The demographic transition model describes how societies move from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as they modernise, producing stages of population growth.
9In Stage 2 of the demographic transition, population grows rapidly mainly because:
A.Death rates fall while birth rates remain high
B.Birth rates fall while death rates remain high
C.Both birth and death rates fall equally at once
D.Both birth and death rates rise sharply
Explanation: Stage 2 (early expanding) features declining mortality due to better health, food, and sanitation, while fertility stays high, producing a wide gap and rapid natural increase.
10Sex ratio is commonly expressed as:
A.Number of females per 1,000 males
B.Number of males per 100 females only in cities
C.Percentage of children under 5
D.Number of births per death
Explanation: In the Indian statistical tradition (and NCERT Class 12 treatment), sex ratio is usually the number of females per 1,000 males in a population.
